How feasible would it be for a city to build publicly available wireless access points so that anybody who wanted to run a WISP can do so? I'd really like the option to walk away from a commercial ISP entirely if it's too painful. Right now I just cancel my Internet for a few months and go to the library before calling Comcast again, but with the current and possible future pandemics that might not be a viable option.

Many states have laws that prevent cities from entering the ISP market.
